The Children of the Eco Warriors are likely to be holding another kids' bloc Childrens' Revolution at the Camp for Climate Action near Heathrow Airport from 14 to 21 August.
It is possible that they will lead another march with their banner “The Kids Are Revolting!” in the same way that they did at the Drax power station protest in 2006.
It is possible that they will lead another march with their banner “The Kids Are Revolting!” in the same way that they did at the Drax power station protest in 2006.
An approach has been made to the Metropolitan Police to help them facilitate a peaceful protest just like similar events in the recent past where the children and their mothers were provided with full police protection just in case of any trouble.
The very first Childrens' Revolution was held at the Gleneagles G8 protest in 2005 and it was started by Sunshine and her friends, with a little help from Angel and Raga and Visiondanz Brian and the Rhythms of Resistance and the Clown Army and various other friends and supporters.
The kids' bloc organised their own blockade on a road close to the Gleneagles hotel and had a picnic at the feet of the Scottish riot police, successfully preventing the Canadian delegates from reaching the summit meeting with George Bush and Tony Blair.
All the television channels including the BBC, ITN, and Sky News had intended to film the event, but they pulled out at the last minute when they were recalled to London to cover the story of the terrorist bomb attacks.
However they asked to be kept informed of any future events and said they would definitely be there for the children next time.
At the Camp for Climate Action near Heathrow Airport the Childrens' Revolution group will be an autonomous neighbourhood organising its own legal observing, police liaison and general security.
The pacifist Peace Not War group will be helping to arrange the usual kids' disco with Rob the Rub of Revolutionation, and some members of the Rhythms of Resistance and the Clown Army will probably also be on hand to help with the entertainment.
The television companies all asked to be allowed to film the next Childrens' Revolution and arrangements are being made to allow them to be present at the kids' disco on the final day of the Climate Camp, but only on condition that they do not film anyone else still on the site at the time.
The TV companies promised as far as possible to try to provide complete protection for everyone involved with the Childrens' Revolution events.
They offered to follow the march with camera crews in helicopters filming from the air if necessary, and landing right beside the marchers to film the protest in action close up.
Obviously the Children of the Eco Warriors are very unlikely to be in any really serious danger protesting about the environmental destruction in Britain, but all over the world children are dying from the effects of global warming, and in the Middle East it is women and children in particular who are being slaughtered in the battles for control of the Earth's oil supplies.
Angel and Sunshine have been invited to the Camp for Climate Action by the Camp Networking Group and they are likely to attend and perform their new song “For the Children” at the kids' disco, and everyone present will be invited to learn the words of the song and to join in with the chorus.
“What have we done to our Earth?” Angel asks in her song.
“Each and every one, what can we do, through our world, it's not ours to give but ours to leave,
“Who inherits every seed and every tree? Our children, our children, our children...
“What can we do? Yes me and you, for our Earth?
“Don't you realise that there would be no world without our Earth?
“If you listen you will hear her cry, don't stand by and watch her slowly die...
“But for our children, our children, our children.
“Wood, water and fish getting scarce out there, and the truth is so is the love...
“Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love for our children, for our children, for our children?
“What must be done, each and every one, for our Earth?
“Without this world there would be no dance, there would be no song...
“Shoulder to shoulder we must stand up strong.
“Let's take our Earth back to where she belongs...
“For our children, our children, our children,
“For our children, where is the love for our children, where is the love for our children?”
There will also be a number of teenage activist rappers and various musicians and bands working with Peace Not War, as well as the Rhythms samba band and the rebellious Clowns to help with the entertainment.
In fact if there are enough musicians and other entertainers and a large enough audience present we may even turn the kids' disco into an impromptu Earth Aid concert to Save the Earth.
Magic Dave who represents the Creative Forum and Peace Not War will be helping to coordinate these events and assisting with support and guidance for the kids' bloc.
All final decisions about the Childrens' Revolution at the Camp for Climate Action will be made by the Children of the Eco Warriors themselves when the kids' bloc comes together again for the first time this year near Heathrow Airport in August.
Any mothers who would like to talk with Magic Dave about the arrangements being made are welcome to phone him at any time on 07986465552.
The Friends of the Children of the Eco Warriors are a diverse group of individuals and organisations concerned about saving the human race from extinction and ensuring the survival of future generations.
There is a report coming out after the Camp for Climate Action entitled “Can You Save the Human Race?” which is intended to be the initial evidence for court cases against the US and UK governments and the oil companies and all the transnational corporations that are members of the Bilderberg Group, holding them all legally responsible and accountable for causing global warming and killing off all life on the Earth.
There are very disturbing signs that runaway global warming has already started and the effects can be clearly seen in the catastrophic weather events all over the world.
There have been 40 degree Celsius heatwaves in New York and disastrous tornadoes and forest fires and droughts in other places, and massive flooding in Britain recently that left seven people dead and over 40,000 homes damaged.
The army was mobilised to help with emergency efforts and experts agree that the severe storms and flooding will become more frequent as temperatures rise.
Britain's coastline is sinking three times as fast as it was and NASA scientists have recently reported that the Earth's temperature and the melting polar ice caps and the rising sea levels are all happening three times faster than they were when last monitored, which has led to some scientists claiming that runaway global warming is now occurring and could be irreversible.
This suggests that the Russian scientists' findings in February 2006 of a 30% slow down in the Gulf Stream and a possible complete stoppage around 2012 is quite likely to be correct, and that the next report will probably show the Gulf Stream has slowed down even more than before.
The BBC Horizon programme said that when the Gulf Stream closes down completely there will be a new ice age in Britain and Europe with temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius for more than 100 days each year.
Other reports have claimed that the temperatures in Britain could fall soon to as low as minus 40 degrees in the winters and as high as plus 40 degrees in the summers.
If the Gulf Stream does stop completely around 2012 this will possibly make the London Olympics seem like a terrible waste of public money that could have been better spent on trying to stop global warming and climate change as a matter of extreme urgency.
A number of very reputable international climate scientists have claimed that all the latest scientific evidence points to the extinction of the human race this century.
Professor Peter Barret the director of the Antarctic Research Centre in New Zealand says that human civilisation itself will come to an end before 2100, and Dr James Hansen of NASA says that all the worst case predictions of global warming will start to happen in the next five years and not in 100 years time.
Plans for a Childrens' Revolution march from Hackney to parliament at Christmas 2007 to arrest the British government for war crimes and for being accessories to the environmental crimes of the transnational corporations have been considered by eco activists who believe that crimes against humanity are being committed by the politicians and corporate leaders.
However the most important environmental event at the moment is the Heathrow campaign against the expansion of the aviation industry, and there is a possiblility of a permanent eco warriors' protest site in a local village after the Camp for Climate Action.
BAA is planning a third runway at Heathrow which will completely destroy two local villages when the bulldozers move in to demolish all the houses and ruin three other villages and cause massive environmental damage in the area, including the destruction of churches and listed buildings and ancient woodlands and wildlife habitats.
And that is apart from the huge increase in greenhouse gas pollution that will be caused by the additional expansion in air traffic to and from virtually every other country in the world.
The airline industry and the British government have already made their decision to completely wipe out an important part of English tradition and heritage and build a third runway at Heathrow, but they are going through the motions with a public consultation about their plans in the autumn. (After the Camp for Climate Action).
However over the past seven years BAA has chopped down all the trees which stood in the way of Terminal Five which they constructed behind barbed wire fences protected by security guards with dogs, and they have also diverted two rivers and widened the M25 turn-off.
Recently they opened the new shopping mall in preparation for the extra business that will result from the third runway which they want to build as soon as possible.
It has all been planned beforehand, many years in advance.
One small village might well be about to resist and fight back in self defence against the Alien invasion of their local community, and it is possible that the local people will be building an Ark on their Village Green which the children will fill with all their animals while the eco warriors dig a network of tunnels connecting all the houses together.
The village might be declaring itself independent soon from the national government in Westminster and setting up a local revolutionary council to take over control of its own local affairs.
There will possibly be an Earth Fair Consumer Revolt in the village where the local residents will stop shopping for new goods in the corporate shops and stores, but instead they will share all their unwanted second hand goods with each other.
There could be permaculture and solar power everywhere, and a local farm and a local bank with a local currency, and a totally self sufficient and sustainable local economy.
One day tourists from all over the world might come to visit the village which could soon be setting an example of the practical application of the principles of localisation and environmentalism and environmental economics.
All the other small local communities on the Earth that are being threatened with being destroyed by big business and big government and the Ecological Cataclysm that is coming soon as a result of global warming and climate change might be able to learn how to fight back and defend themselves as well.
The Earth Aid Environmental Campaign is on site at a secret location in London with War on Waste (Slow Tony), Creative Technologies (Professor Simon Jackson), the Eco Tort Theatre (Nick St Clare), Random Artists and various other creative and technical environmental activists.
Between us we have all the necessary facilities to help provide a small village with a completely free service to install sophisticated computer communications, and plumbing, electrical, and mechanical services so that the entire area can become totally self sufficient in all of its own local needs.
We have a medium sized boat suitable for putting on the Village Green and transforming into an Ark, and we have three large coaches suitable for some of the eco warriors to live in.
We have tow trucks and heavy duty equipment suitable for keeping everyone mobile and functioning.
All we need now is the right site in the right place to work from, and if this can be provided by the local residents we will all be there immediately to help stop the third runway from wrecking the local region and helping to destroy the Earth and killing the future generations of the human race before they have even been born.
It has been a very long journey from Twyford Down to Heathrow Airport, but the road protesters of the 1990s now have children of their own, and they have their own ideas about what needs to be done next to save humanity.
Angel has spent her whole life working with the peace and environmental movements, and she was at Twyford Down and Newbury and Claremont Road and the Guinness site and Canbury Gardens and Crystal Palace and almost all the rest of the environmental protests and demonstrations and campaigns.
Her daughter Sunshine who used to be known as the Solar Power Kid in the early days was born and raised on the protest sites.
Over the years they have helped to bring the whole of the Environmental Movement together and to unite all the different groups and factions under the umbrella of the same common cause to try to save humanity from extinction.
Hopefully this is all about to be happening again very soon.
Angel and Sunshine have recently rescued a baby wolf which they have named Star.
Angel's father is dying of cancer right now and she needs all the help she can get, and her friends are invited to call her urgently on 01708450062.
Viveca has suggested that it would be nice if Sunshine's grandad could meet some of her friends in the Environmental Movement and see what Angel has been doing with her life.
I don't know what else I can do.
Thank you.

Quite, but where is the science to support that. We all know we're in the shit but unsupported statements as far as I can see like that really risk bringing the issue into disrepute.
somewhat sceptical
Supported by scientists...

There is a mass of evidence on the internet about this and very little of it has surfaced in the mainstream news media, but it does exist and it is very alarming, especially when the BBC has given it official and authoritative coverage on several occasions.

the gulf stream...

Britain will be plunged into a new ice age soon...
16.07.2007 22:21
This suggests that the Russian scientists' findings of a 30% slowdown in the Gulf Stream and a likely complete stoppage around 2012 is quite likely to be correct, and that the next report will probably show the Gulf Stream has slowed down even more than before.
All the scientists who have been studying the slowing down of the Gulf Stream say that trillions of gallons of fresh water are pouring into the North Atlantic off the coast of Greenland every day as the ice melts faster and faster.
This is reducing the salinity of the water in the ocean and further slowing the conveyor which brings the warmth of a million power stations to Britain.
When it stops completely there will be a sudden overnight drop in temperature and Britain and Europe will be plunged into a new ice age.
The Greenland ice sheet is sliding into the ocean because the melting water on the surface has made its way to the bottom and is acting as a lubricant, and there is nothing whatsoever that anyone can do to stop this process which is speeding up all the time now.
Whatdoesitmean.com reported on 21 January 2007:
“Russian Scientists have become alarmed this past week after an unprecedented massive ‘Superstorm’ hit the entire Northern Hemisphere of our planet causing widespread destruction and death.
“From record windstorms assaulting Northern Europe and the British Isles; to the destruction of California’s citrus crops; to the devastating snow and ice storms still assaulting the North American continent from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian Maritime Provinces; at no time in recorded history, according to Russian Scientific Reports, has our World experienced such catastrophic weather on such a global scale over such a short period of time...
“Supporting Doctor Scientist Abdusamatov’s research was the virtually unreported in the West stoppage of the Gulf Stream waters of the Atlantic Ocean on December 11th, and which lasted for 8 days ending on December 19th, and which saw this massive ocean current turn ‘suddenly’ to the South from its normal pattern towards Northern European waters.
“These reports further detail that should the Gulf Stream waters cease flowing to Europe altogether a catastrophic situation would overtake the Continent causing massive crop failures and the mass migrations of Europeans to the Southern Nations of the European Union.”
The BBC science and nature website on 13 november 2003 reported:
“The Big Chill - programme summary.
“Remember that long, hot summer? You might never see its like again. And all that talk of global warming? Forget it.
'It's clearly going to influence every single one of us every day of our lives' - Professor Bill McGuire, University College London.
“This season's first Horizon reveals that a growing number of experts fear Britain could be heading for a climate like Alaska. Our ports could be frozen over. Ice storms could ravage the country, and London could see snow lying for weeks on end. It would be the biggest change in the British way of life since the last Ice Age.
“The first signs that such a disaster could happen came from deep within the ice sheet of Greenland. Scientists discovered that the Earth's past was littered with sudden, drastic drops in temperature.
“The big question was: could it ever happen again? Clues came from tiny shells at the bottom of the Atlantic; a huge glacier on the move in Arctic and some alarming discoveries in the far north of Russia.
“In the end there came the terrifying revelation: the Gulf Stream, that vast current of water that keeps us warm, could be cut off.
“According to one scientist, there is a one in two chance it will happen in the next century.
“Others say a climatic catastrophe could be heading our way in just twenty years time.”
“Warming could bring colder UK winters” reported BBC news on 13 November 2003.
“By Penny Palmer. BBC Horizon.
“Britain could be heading for a 'big freeze' if global warming switches off an important ocean current in the Atlantic, some scientists say.
“We could be heading for much colder winters.
“Britain is kept relatively mild in the winter by the warm air blanket brought to us from the tropics by a branch of the Gulf Stream.
“But if global warming continues to melt major ice sheets, that supply of warm air could come to an abrupt end, according to a number of experts.
“The Gulf Stream relies on a sensitive 'conveyer belt' action, which could be 'switched off' - quite suddenly - if it becomes diluted by fresh water from the melting ice-sheets, they claim.
“Dr Terry Joyce, an oceanographer from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, US, believes there is a 50% chance of a sudden climate change happening in the next 100 years. 'It will be quick,' he says. 'Suddenly one decade we're warm, and the next decade we're in the coldest winter we've experienced in the last 100 years, but we're in it for a 100 years.'
“The possibility of much harsher winters in the UK is reported in the Horizon programme on BBC Two.”
“Gulf Stream Slowed by 30% Since 1957” was the heading on an Indymedia story on 29 May 2007 by Mike Rhodes from the NYCity IMC (25 May).
“Failing ocean current raises fears of mini ice age.
“The ocean current that gives western Europe its relatively balmy climate is stuttering, raising fears that it might fail entirely and plunge the continent into a mini ice age.
“The dramatic finding comes from a study of ocean circulation in the North Atlantic, which found a 30% reduction in the warm currents that carry water north from the Gulf Stream.
“The slow-down, which has long been predicted as a possible consequence of global warming, will give renewed urgency to intergovernmental talks in Montreal, Canada, this week on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol.”
“Gulf Stream shutting down, BBC ignores?” wrote q in Portland, Oregon, USA on Indymedia UK on 11 May 2007.
“A recent Cambridge University study has found evidence that a glacier ice-formation mechanism that brings the Gulf Stream north, keeping Europe warm, is ALREADY LOSING STRENGTH. CNN in the US is reporting this (sort of), but the BBC website has barely mentioned it.
“Changes in Gulf Stream could chill Europe.
“New data on global warming; thinning polar ice cap
“By Marsha Walton CNN. Scientists now have evidence that changes are occurring in the Gulf Stream, the warm and powerful ocean current that tempers the western European climate.
“Without the influence of the Gulf Stream and its two northern branches, the North Atlantic Drift and the Canary Current, the weather in Britain could be more like that of Siberia, which shares the same latitude.”

Momentum is hotting up for this issue, collective action has never been so necessary, or possible.
I think we all know that.
that said there's enough to worry about without uber doomsday iceage terror!!
peace.

You are quite right, I thought everybody knew about the Gulf Stream slowing down, but as you can see from the above comments I was challenged to provide some facts and figures.
When you look at the overall picture it is quite clear that urgent direct action is going to be necessary very soon, and a new youth movement looks like the way forward otherwise there will be no hope for the survival of future generations.
